2247101, Exactly why I didn't care for it in the end... Posted by bentagain, Wed Oct-16-13 11:40 AM
if they were going to frame it in, there's more to the story than what Duran has offered
and Ray doesn't believe him
the doc never nailed either of these points
IMO, I'm more convinced that Duran's explanation is in fact the truth
'I was the King of New York after the first fight'
'I was partying...etc'
the testimonial from folks that were there, shouts out to Christie Brinkley, reinforce the story
he was 10 pounds over weight a week before the fight
and dropped the lbs over the weekend taking diuretics, etc...
I think Ray has more difficulty accepting No Mas as part of his legacy too, than Duran's explanation
also, there was a body shot, I think in the 5th
I don't know if they added sound effects to the doc to enhance it
but GATDAYUM, that shit sounded like f'n thunder and stopped Duran in his tracks
Duran's conditioning and explanation are easier for me to accept now
